  • 🎓 Name mentioned 1 time in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
  • 🧍 Quadricoccus australiensis Maszenan et al. 2002 is illegitimate because it is placed in an illegitimate genus (see: Quadricoccus). Publication: Oren A. On names of genera of prokaryotes that are later homonyms of generic names with standing in the zoological or the botanical nomenclature. Proposal of Neomegalonema gen. nov. and Neomegalonema perideroedes comb. nov. as replacements for the prokaryotic generic name Meganema and the species name Meganema perideroedes. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017; 67:4276-4278.
  • 🧍 Quadricoccus australiensis Maszenan et al. 2002 is illegitimate because of precedence of the algal genus name, Quadricoccus Fott 1948 [Principle 2, Rule 51b(4)]. Consequently, a new species designation Quatrionicoccus australiensis has been proposed by Tindall and Euzéby 2006. Publication: Tindall BJ, Euzeby JP. Proposal of Parvimonas gen. nov. and Quatrionicoccus gen. nov. as replacements for the illegitimate, prokaryotic, generic names Micromonas Murdoch and Shah 2000 and Quadricoccus Maszenan et al. 2002, respectively. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2006; 56:2711-2713.
